The Grauer School's FTC Shockwave #3848 High School Robotics Team started out the season with a great performance at their first meet on November 20. The team won 4 of their 6 matches, and their robot performed very well. Their strong performance in this meet was a huge validation of their design of a smaller robot base with mecanum wheels that can move in any direction to allow fast and flexible driving maneuvering, along with an arm and hand that picks up cones and deposits them on the posts on the field. The team is looking forward to making improvements that will help them in their upcoming competitions. Congratulations to Shockwave team members Gabriel C. '23, Ethan D. '23, Nicholas H. '24, Mac R. '24, Anthony B. '25, Milan B. '25, Brandon D. '25, Augie K. '26, Alana M. '26, and Gavin N. '26, as well as Coaches Liam Murphy, Morgan Brown, and Ryan Stevens on a great first meet of the season!
